Frommer's Review
This is among the nicest of the boutique hotels in Palermo, due to the young couple that built the place, Argentine Patricia O'Shea and her British husband Tom Rixton. She grew up a few blocks from here and he is a former DJ, giving the place both anchor and soul. On Fridays, there's a DJ in the lobby bar, and it's a great place for drinks, even if you're not staying here. There's a real backyard, with grass and an outdoor heated pool, with an ironic suburban edge. Rooms are high design with blonde woods and white linens -- it has a modern feel, but with '60s mod accents. Bathrooms are large and some suites come with Jacuzzis and have kitchens. One room is available for travelers with disabilities. A two-level apartment is attached to the property with its own entrance. Home has an excellent spa sunken into its courtyard, open to the public, with day-rate packages running about $200 (£142), which includes breakfast and lunch.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
